Lost Teeth!

Hannah's two front teeth have been loose for quite some time. I can't pull out teeth or even watch them wiggle for that matter and Chris just figures they will fall out on their own when they are ready (which is code for "he doesn't like to pull them either").

So, days before 1st grade, Hannah hit her front teeth with her knee and one of her teeth came right out. Which was perfect, since they were so close. But then she was left with this one tooth that was so loose and crooked, it looked like it was smack dab in the middle of her mouth.

Hannah came out of the bathroom one day and said "mom, do I look like Ray the Firefly?" It took me a minute, but I realized she meant Ray from The Princess and the Frog. I told her she did kind of look like him and she was so pleased with herself. But what i didn't tell her was that there was no way, I was letting her go to 1st grade looking like Ray the Firefly!

So, I gave it until Sunday and then I called our neighbors (the husband is a dentist) and asked (and kinda begged) him to pull the tooth out. So, we headed over and after a few minutes and full intrigue by all the kids, Hannah's second front tooth was finally out!

Hannah was sad, she didn't look like Ray anymore.. . me not so much!
